More Creative Uses for Peppermint Essential Oil

I always carry a bottle of peppermint essential oil in my bag when I am out and about.

I’ve helped friends with tummy aches, nausea and lethargy with this essential oil. Once a friend was having an upset stomach during a meeting and I gave her 1-2 drops to rub on her tummy. After 5 minutes she said she felt immediately better!

Another time I was in India for a short trip with some friends. A friend started feeling unwell, no thanks to the water she drank. Immediately I asked for a glass of warm water. Into this water I dropped 2 drops of peppermint essential oil. I made my friend drink this to quell her tummy ache. She also rubbed some on her temples and tummy.

You can also use this as a flavouring. Use a toothpick to dip into this oil if you are using as a food flavouring. One drop can be too much!
